We Help Companies Build Smarter Products

Solutions That Connect You To Your Customer

Great Customer Experiences

We work with manufacturers and businesses to help create greater value. Using sensors and a scalable platform as a service model from trusted partners, we build solutions that ingest vast amounts of data and perform analytics allowing you to create rich and personal relationships with your users.

Data Driven Visibility

Using concepts from LEAN manufacturing and Agile Software Development, we build value from day one. Being a data-driven company means getting early stage prototypes out of R&D and into the field, where we measure, learn and iterate to create superior products based on real-time user feedback.

Full IoT Stack Development

Developing a connected product requires a wide range of expertise. Being a founding partner in Lab651 means that we can provide you more than 20 years of Mechanical, Electrical and Software Engineering experience to build connected products end-to-end under one roof.

Let's Build A Smarter Product

Benefits to Your Business

Connecting your product or the assets in your business to the Internet enables you as a business to bring immediate return on investment.

Visibility - Understand exactly where, how often and how your product or asset is being used in the market or at your business.

Reach - Connect with your customer or end-user in the case of maintenance or even before a potential failure.

Uptime - Provide remote maintenance of the product or asset and only intervene with the customer experience when needed.

Feedback - No more needing to do customer feedback surveys, they just use the product and it gets better!

Future - Create an opportunity to build additional services, products or open new markets based on real-time customer usage data.

Benefits to Your Customer

Making your products or assets connected to the Internet has benefits to your customer and employees as well.

Service - No need to schedule service when parts break and need to be replaced. The product informs whomever it needs and has the ability to schedule the service.

Personalization - Users now have the ability to interact with and control your product or asset with a smartphone or other device.

Survey - No need to give feedback on satisfaction with the product or how it's being used in surveys. They just use the product and that data is captured.

Warranty - Product registration or warranty cards are not needed. All of this information is discovered and integrated once connected.

Training - The product is now able to give feedback and information to help and train the user; immediately increasing the value of the product they purchased.
